The Ultimate Manual for Dads

Dads, if you can't understand your role after reading this book, you just can't do it! I've read many, many 'dad' books, but this is absolutely my favorite, because it's the best!

Best "Dad" book I've read, and I've read a lot!

The author gives an overall strategy for being a smart dad, as well as specific tips. He is honest! He admits that his fathering journey has not been without its bumps. He arranges things in a metaphor that men can definitely identify with. I've read it several times, and get something more out of it each time.

Good resource for new dads

Well written and organized material that gives you some key things to focus on in raising your kids. Plus each page has a "smart idea", something simple you can do for building a good relationship or for just having fun.

A great resource for fathers, and fun to read too.

I'm not much on self-help books or parenting books in general, but this is a great book for helping fathers gain a perspective on their significance in the lives of their childern. The model of the "wheel" seems a little strange at first, but it really helps you visualize the points the author makes. The book has a slight conservative Christian lean, but it never becomes over-powering or preachy. A great book to have around when you need a little injection of wisdom to help you make it through those tyring moments of fatherhood.
